Opened Bluesky after finishing Cyberpunk 2077, only to find out that I might not have scaped from Night City at all.

I got this absolute gem of a book for myself, a collection of some of the works of André des Gachons, an artist who observed and reported the weather daily according to his own system for decades. This is the first book published by Phénomène, a brand new French publishing house.

Took me two weeks to write 100 lines of C. Sure, I wrote a few thousand lines to test it and pages of conversation, but most of my time was spent understanding, not writing. Reminder that *writing* code is a tiny minority of the time we spend on “programming.”

Once I mapped the em dash to a key —using QMK— my use of the long boi went up by a factor of 10^6. So useful, love it.

Okay, Matthew Ball's The State of Video Gaming in 2025 is a really monumental achievement and an absolute gold mine of stats that put the current game industry into its economic context. Strongly recommend. www.matthewball.co/all/stateofv...

Two years later, I still feel like my thesis —an introduction to monte carlo methods applied to real time ray tracing— is still the piece of work I'm most proud of A fine balance of style and technical depth, produced for both web and print. It is also open source: github.com/asmilex/Rayt...
